God sends liars to hell. Apparently.

@taniwharugby So I guess we'll all be back in a year to do it again? Perhaps the official line is they need to apply as not to look like too soft a touch

I've now watched the last round, and i reckon it was way better than some of you are giving it credit for.

At different points of that back 9 a number of very good players were having a run at Tiger. Johnson was coming until he faltered. Fowler went on a run but missed a putt by a mm. Finau played great but was too far back. Koepka was right there but just could not make the step up. But Tiger was just never coming back to them. He hit great shot after great shot. Hit his putts. He really played fucking good golf to win that.

I totally agree. There were about half a dozen players legitimately in the mix to win right up until the last couple of holes. Just because it wasn't an all out birdie fest didn't make it any less compelling. When Tiger embraced his son I suddenly noticed how dusty the lounge was. Must leave a strongly worded note for the cleaner....

Come on you spurs. That is all

@canefan The devil will be in what those details are exactly. Would paraphrasing a bible verse fit? He seems happy enough to stand on principle.

It will. The ARU would look stupid if they offered up a contract for Folau to sign that didn't have something in it to warn him off these social media outbursts. Especially after the first time.

Folau can't be naive enough or stupid enough not to realise exactly what he is doing. There are thousands of verses in the bible and yet he picks up on the same theme as last time? He is entitled to speak his mind, and I am entitled to place him on a level similar to Brian Tamaki and other peddlers of intolerant religion

@MajorRage said in The Folau Factor:

@Rembrandt for the second time.

Previously warned. Which for me is a big factor.

And according to the Fitzimmons article his standard contract had no social media clause as it was a standard clause. But there were accompanying documents with the new contract which in essence warned him and his management what would happen if he did it again, and he simply ignored them. He brought this on himself

@Rembrandt said in The Folau Factor:

@MajorRage If I try and turn it on its head. Folau isn't standing against freedom of sexuality. He is just giving a warning about what he believes will happen to them when they die (assuming literal hell rather than metaphorical), there is no force involved. . Extremist protesters, sponsors and ARU are however attempting to use force (as in removal of income) to stop Folau from speaking his beliefs.

I think that is a real stretch. Folau can speak his mind, he won't get imprisoned or beaten (now that's real force). But he has to accept there are consequences for his actions, just like the rest of us do in everyday life

Courtney lawes has now come to the defence of Billy Vunipola and to my mind makes the most sense of any of the shitlebrity tweets etc.

"I don’t have a faith like yourself my brother so I don’t share the same views in this matter but I do believe you should be able to voice your own opinions and beliefs as you see fit. To everyone getting worked up about these post I ask you if you don’t believe in the same things as them then what do these statements matter to you? Can we not disagree with someone without calling them a bigot or a homophobe or every other name under the sun?"

“And by the way If you’re going to say you’re accepting of everyone then be accepting of everyone, not just the people you agree with.”

Disagree 100%.

Foley is staying thst in his view, they are going to suffer in eternity. His view. He believes he’s going to paradise and non believers, who
Follow their own true feelings, will suffer eternally.

A sporting organization selling a product cannot carry this. Right to be sacked,

So you don’t believe in religious freedom?

I agree with Fitzimmons, it isn't about religious freedom unless the government plans on throwing him in jail. It is an employment matter
